Grande Estates
by Katharine Swam
The third quarter held goodnews for Lee County: Thoughpaired with a decrease in price,home sales statistics for Augustand September indicated adramatic increase in the numberof sales from last year. Thisupward trend suggests that
Florida's real estate market isbeginning to stabilize, startingwith Naples, Fort Myers, and thesurrounding areas.
In September, the FloridaAssociation of Realtors releaseda report comparing August 2008home sales statewide to those of August 2007. Several areasoffered substantial increases inthe number of home sales, led bythe Fort Myers-Cape Coral areaat 32 percent. According to
many experts, the good newsmay indicate that the real estatemarket is beginning to stabilize,beginning with areas such as LeeCounty.
"August and September areusually slow months for the realestate market in our area," saysMichael Burke, a luxury real
estate expert specializing in Leeand Collier Counties. "But thisyear, August's sales actuallysurpassed those in January,March, or June - and September'ssales ranked even higher."
According to the Augustreport, the Fort Myers-CapeCoral area enjoyed 684 homesales in August 2008, asignificant increase from only520 sales in August 2007. Condosales in the area also rose
substantially, from 128 to 168.In addition to showing an
increase from last year's data,Burke notes that the number of home sales in August 2008 alsobeat out the average for themonth over the last decade. "If you take the number of homesales in August over the past nineyears, you come up with an
average of 649 homes sold. Butin August of this year, there were729 pending sales, 12 percentmore than the month's average."
This upward trend becomeseven more obvious inSeptember's numbers, with thepending sales for Lee Countycoming in at a whopping 200
percent increase over September2007. In the combined areas of Naples, Bonita, and Estero,September's closed salessurpassed September 2007 by 40percent.
At the same time as thenumber of sales have increased,prices have decreased. TheFlorida Association of Realtors'report indicates that medianprices in the Fort Myers-CapeCoral area have fallen 41 percent
over the past year: From$250,800 in August 2007, to$146,900 in August 2008. Year-to-date sales numbers forSeptember 2008 show a similarstory: The median price for thecombined areas of Naples,Bonita, and Estero was$304,495, down 20 percent from
$381,000 at the end of September 2007.
"In June of 2007, I sold ahouse for $575,000. In July of 2008, I sold the same model for$525,000," Burke said, notingthat he has observed price dropsin choice communities of between 9 and 12 percent.
Some experts suggest thatcompetitive pricing has triggeredthe rise in sales. In an interview

Health & Wellness
NC)—Small indulgences are
worth the money when they reduce
nhealthy stress levels by bringingpeace o mind or some much-
eeded downtime.
. Rent a moie. It’s one o the
est, cheapest ways to “escape” or
couple o hours when you need a
reather.
. Hire a cleaner. Get a head
tart on spring cleaning or tackle
stubborn area o the house that
euses to shape up with a one-
visit, or make it a part o your
outine.
. Call the babsitter. Whatever
our reason – dinner with your partner, an aternoon at the art
allery with a riend or a morning
TEN WAyS TO GIvE yOuRSELF A BREAK
at the gym by yoursel – the
babysitter’s rates can be well worth
it or a much-needed time out.
4. B a health lnch. Rather
than all o the heart healthy
wagon when you don’t have time
to prepare lunch, treat yoursel to
a healthy restaurant or take-out
meal.
5. Conslt an accontant. Getting
your income tax return prepared
by a proessional is like taking a
vacation rom worrying about your
taxes.
6. Get a nancial planner. Yes,
a proessional advisor will cost
money. But wouldn’t it be nice tostop worrying about whether you’re
managing your money wisely?
7. use a personal shopper. I
you’re planning to buy some
clothes this season, consider usinga store that has a personal shopping
service. You’ll get coordinated
pieces that work or your body
type and with key pieces in your
existing wardrobe.
8. Hire a dr cleaning/landr
serice. Laundry can seem endless,
but with a service to pick-up, clean,
and deliver your clothes, you’ll be
able to take a deep breath and say,
“ahhh”.
9. Contract ot snow/gardening
maintenance. An hour or two a
week spent on outdoor maintenance
adds up over the course o a year:What would you do with up to our
extra days o
spare time?
10. Dining
with a
personal che
serice. From
a amily che
who plans and
cook a weeks’
worth o meals
to stash in
the reezer,
to a ranchise
where you
create meals in
advance rom a
set menu using prepared ingredients
– there are options or almost any
budget that will save you hours o daily dinner-time headaches.
More stress-busting and time-
saving ideas, can be ound onlineat www.homebasics.ca.
NUI) - For most women, getting
n the scale every morning can be
n exercise in rustration. They’ve
aten well, they’ve spent hours
n the gym and still the needle
wobbles in the same spot with little
o no fuctuation.
And while age, genetics and
metabolism certainly play a part in
women’s ability to lose weight,
xperts say there may be more
nvolved.
According to statistics, more
han 72 million women in North
America suer rom bloating, or aeneral swelling o the abdominal
rea. Women can eel ull and tight
round the stomach area and even
ain weight due to bloating.
But one company is doing its best
o aid women in their weight-loss
orts.
Bloating can cause a temporary
weight gain o ve to eight pounds,”
ays Gina Broccolo, co-ounder
Integrity Health Products and
eveloper o a supplement that
ombats bloating. “It is its own
beast, and nothing can kill awoman’s condence like eeling
loated.”
Women Strggle to Shrink
Bloated BodiesBroccolo started her crusade to
help women eliminate bloating
because o her own weight-loss
rustrations. She tried diet ater diet
and ound success in an internal
cleansing and detoxiying program
that resulted in a weight loss o
more than 75 pounds.
However, even ater her signicant
loss, Broccolo still ound hersel
eeling uncomortable ater heavy
meals. Since then, she worked with
a medical doctor to ormulate Beat
the Bloat, an all-natural supplement
that addresses all o the major
causes o bloating.
Containing a combination
o dandelion lea, green tea,
peppermint lea and asparagus root
extract, it relieves the discomort
o bloating, improves digestion,
helps to eliminate gas rom the
intestines, rids excess retained
water rom the body and increasesgastro-intestinal motility.
Besides taking a daily supplement,
experts say that women can take
other steps to combat that eeling
o ullness, such as drinking eight
glasses o water a day, which
fushes the system o toxins,
avoiding alcohol in the evening
and exercising, which raises the
body’s metabolic rate and fushes
the system. Controlling salt intake
helps, too.

Bloat and other ways to eliminate

“To climb steep hills requires slow pace at frst.” -Shakespeare, Henry VIII. Act I. Sc. 1
Walk 10 Minutes a Day and Increase Your FitnessLevel Old thinking was to work out in a sweat-flledgym or hours a day. No pain, no gain. New studies
show that even short bouts o activity can increaseyour ftness level, especially i you’re new at workingout.
Fitness Tip
(NUI) - Snifes and sneezes, sore
throats and coughs - the return to
school heralds cold and fu season’s
start. Children,
b e t w e e n
u n c o v e r e d
sneezes and
u n w a s h e d
hands, quicklyspread germs to
classmates.
When cold
season comes,
it arrives with a
vengeance. But
parents can boost
their children’s
overall health,
helping young immune systems
ght disease. Here are some tips
or parents looking to escape fu
season unscathed:
• Keep children actie. For many
children, cold weather meanscouch-potato behavior. But rom
visiting pumpkin patches to ice
skating, the all and winter provide
un activities. Physically active
children possess healthier immune
systems, which help ght o
inection. When it’s too cold to play
outside, consider indoor activities,
like bowling or dancing.
• Watch or kids’ diets. A
healthy diet keeps young immune
systems strong. Make sure that
children eat healthy meals that
include vegetables, ruit, healthy
protein and whole grains. A healthy breakast beore school keeps
young minds sharp and provides
immune-supporting nutrition. I
Kpig Kis Hlthy Throgh
Col Ssochildren won’t eat breakast, oer
milk or 100 percent ruit juice and
a multivitamin.
Even in children who don’t skip
meals, multivitamins ll nutritional
gaps. Look or multivitamins
without articial preservatives or
colors, like L’il Critters Immune
C plus Zinc and Echinacea, whichsupport healthy immune unction
and taste like regular gummy
candies. L’il Critters Omega-3
Gummy Fish contain Omega-3 atty
acids, which improve
concentration and
help prevent disease.
• Allow nstrctred
pla. Among school,sports, music lessons
and community
o r g a n i z a t i o n s ,
children can eel
stressed and tired.
While structured
activities have their
benets, too much
stress leads to poorer
immune unction.
Make sure children have time or
imaginative play, and you will see
ewer snifes through the school
year.

Lee County Leads Upward Trend in Florida Home Salescontinued from page 1
with CNBC, the economist RichardDekaser recently referred to the real estatemarket in neighboring Naples as "slightlyundervalued." According to the Burke,"Seventy-one percent of all closed salesare under $500,000, with 36 percent under$250,000. As a result, buyers are rightly
coming to the conclusion that now is agreat time to get a good deal."
Additionally, Burke notes, sellers whoprice their homes competitively benefit themost from the increase in sales. "I havenoticed that the sellers who are pricingtheir houses in the lower 20 percent are theones most likely to sell. The sellers whoare staying in the front of the market withprice reductions, rather than chasing themarket down, are the ones with the mostsuccess."
The lower pricing scheme isanticipated to bring even more buyers toLee and Collier Counties, which in turnwill result in more sales. "Nothing attractsbuyers like the promise of a good deal,"Burke says. "Therefore, price will remainthe key to successful selling as the market
continues to stabilize."Pricing a house on the low end of the
market can be a tough pill to swallow, butit's essentially the same principle usedwhen the market is thriving, Burke notes."If it is logical to price just ahead of themarket when prices are rising, it's alsological to price just ahead of the marketwhen prices are falling. The sellers whohave accepted this and who are priced atthe lower end of the spectrum of themarket are the ones selling."

I read of a man who stood to speak At the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
From the beginning… to the end.
He noted that first came the date of her birth
And he spoke the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years.
For that dash represents all the time
That she spent alive on earth.
And now only those who loved her
Know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not how much we own;
The cars, the house, the cash,
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.
So think about this long and hard.Are there things you'd like to change?
For you never know how much time is left,
That can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down enough
To consider what's true and real
And always try to understand
The way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger,
And show appreciation more
And love the people in our lives
Like we've never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect,
And more often wear a smile
Remembering that this special dash
Might only last a little while.
The Dash Poem by Linda Ellis
So, when your eulogy is being read
With your life's actions to rehash
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash?

Tackle thehared liing space:

To clear foor space, temporarily
move any pet beds or foor pillows
o another, less public room. Use
damp sponge or the bottom o a
lean sneaker to remove pet hair
rom the foor and upholstery.
Be sure to clean any olding
hairs that may be used beoreringing them into your home. An
ll-purpose cleaner or mild soap
nd water should do the trick.
Keep or kitchen spotless:
Clear countertops by removing
tems you will not use, like toasters
r cookie jars, and store them in
abinets. This will give you more
pace to prepare your holiday

• Keep the sink clear

use lighting to set the mood:

(NUI) - Fresh air and natural
landscapes invigorate and relax hikers, bikers and other
outdoorsmen. But city and town
dwellers don’t have to live without
fora - natural accents can turn any
home into a nature escape.
Here are some tips or homeowners
looking to get back to nature in
their own homes:
• Landscape yor Liing Room.
Potted plants can provide soothing
nishes in living areas and
bedrooms. Home gardeners love
cus plants or g trees, because
they’re adaptable and require little
maintenance. Orchids, which growin either natural or articial light,
provide tropical color.
• Transorm yor Bathroom.
The right touches can turn your
bathroom into an exotic retreat.
Flowers provide elegance, while
new, vanity lighting creates a
luxurious note.
Organically inspired bathroom
collections can turn regular rooms
into spas. The Bamboo bathroom
collection rom ShowHouse by
Moen emulates living bamboo
canes and eatures an open
waterway design, mimicking thefow o a natural waterall. The
alling water creates soothing
sounds and sensations.
• use Natral Colors. Natural
hues, whether warm or cool, revive
indoor spaces. Green, the color o
oliage, creates a back-to-nature
eel, while the right blue can turn
any room into a beachside retreat.
Pinks, yellows and oranges can add

foral touches.
To bring the outdoors in, consider
brightly colored window treatments.
The right curtains can seamlessly
blend outdoor colors with indoor
décor.
• Refect on Natre. A mirror,
strategically hung to refect an
outdoor scene, can make a room
eel more natural - while also
making rooms eel larger and more
airy. Mirrorscapes Mirror Frames

the nishing touch to plate-glass
mirrors, and install easily enough

HOW TO GROW HERBS INDOORS
Step 1Herbs can be planted in clay or
plastic pots. I herbs are planted in
Things you’ll Need:
• several small plant pots
or trays
• plant soil
• ertilizer • watering can
• windowsill
By: Hapworth
plastic pots, they need less water.
Moisture evaporates rom clay pots
keeping the soil cool. Use a good
potting mixture. I preer Miracle
Gro Potting Soil. I planting rom
seed, begin with a seed tray or small
pot. I planting rom seedlings, use
pots, 3-4”.
Step 2
Avoid windowsills exposed to direct
sunlight, but herbs do need approx.
6 hours a day o sun. Turn herbs a
little each day so all parts get light.
You may consider articial lighting.
Most herbs preer a temp. o 60-70
degrees. Sharp temperature drops
are stressul or herbs, so avoid
draughts.
Step 3
Some possible herbs to grow
in pots: Chives, Chervil, Basil,
Marjoram, Parsley, Savory,
Thyme. When watering, use
tepid water and water in the
morning. You can purchase
small stick gauges
i you are not sure
when to water the
herbs. Do not over
water.
Step 4
Group your herbs together to
create a humid atmosphere. You
can also place the pots on moist
pebbles. A quick spray during
warm weather is also helpul. I
leaves become pale yellow, that’s
a good indicator that ertilizer is
needed. Over-ertilization signs
are brown leaves. Liquid ertilizers
dissolved in water work great. You
can also get ertilizer tablets and
sticks.
Step 5
As ar as harvesting your herbs,
resh leaves can be picked at any
time during the growing season.
Leaves are most tender and sweet
when the plant is young. Picked
leaves can be stored in a plastic
bag in the rerigerator where they
will keep or several days. Wilted
leaves can be revived in water.
• See yor Aromatherapist.
Rereshing, natural scents can
really set a mood. Whether resh,
like cotton or linen, or foral, like
lilac or gardenia, aromas can make
rooms soothe.
Eco-riendly scented candles, likethe soy or beeswax candles made
by Bluecorn Naturals, burn cleaner
than normal candles, helping to
reduce indoor air pollution. Placing
orange or lemon peels in small
bowls around the house can create
fame-ree scents.

Fore! It’s Time For A “Mancation”
NC)—Guys-only holidays
– or ‘mancations’ – are
becoming more popular asmen look or more time to
e-connect with riends they
don’t have time to see ater
work or on weekends at
home.
For a stress-ree holiday
with the guys, gol getaways
are some o the easiest to
plan because your primary
activity is already decided. I
you choose a resort with an
on-site gol course, plans are
ven simpler. But beore yougo, make sure your equipment
s in proper order.
Traveling with gol
quipment can be
traightorward and stress-
ree, as long as you take a
ew minutes to check your
quipment and nd out
whether you are missing any
key items,” says Barry Wallis,
Manager o Gol Education
at Callaway Gol. “Golers
accustomed to playing close
to home may not realize that
gol travel should involve
packing a ew extra things
that can make or break a un
getaway.”
Arriving at your destination
with damaged clubs is
enough to ruin a holiday.
To avoid damage, protect
your clubs with a purpose-
built gol travel bag, like
Callaway’s X Tour Cart Gol
Bag Carrier, which eatures
a strong outer shell with
Callaway’s Steelhead Club
Protection system, wheels or ease o transport, and a power
pull handle. And or urther
protection, Callaway oers
the CG Tracker bag recovery
program to help reunite you
with your bag i it is ever lost.
Details are available at www.
callawaygol.com/ca.
Departing on a gol trip in all
or winter can mean you may
not have swung your clubs
in several weeks or months.
It’s important to do a ullcheck o your gol equipment
beore you depart. I you nd
any caked dirt or rust on
your clubs, wash with warm,
soapy water and thoroughly
dry them beore packing or
air travel.
Make sure you know how
many bags your airline will
accept, and whether there are
any rules or checking in gol
equipment as luggage. Then
swing away in the sun!

Trael Saet Qick Tip(NC)—Guard against the
loss or thet o your travel
documents. Resort specialist,
Club Med, suggests: When
packing, keep all important
papers and documents with
you in your hand luggage.
Never check anything that
you simply cannot aord to
lose. Beore you leave home,
take at least two photocopies
o your passport, air tickets,
medical insurance, driver’s
license, and credit cards.Leave a copy at home and put
a copy in the bag that does
not contain the originals.
(NC) – Enviro nme nta lly
riendly car options are
becoming more and more
popular among new vehicle
buyers as they look or
ways to cut uel costs and
reduce their environmental
ootprint. Here are some o
the bells and whistles on the
market today:
• Variable valve timing
and lit improves the fow
o uel and air during the
engine cycle by varying the
opening and closing o the
engine valves depending on
need. The technology can
result in both greater power
and better uel eciency;
• Cylinder deactivationallows V-6 and V-8 engines
to operate as though they
GREENER CAR OPTIONS GAINING POPuLARITy AMONG
NEW CAR OWNERShad ewer cylinders. While
cylinder deactivation cannot
decrease the weight o
engines, it does reduce uel
consumption under light-load
highway cruising conditions
by only delivering uel to
activated cylinders;
• Gasoline and diesel direct
injection uses sophisticated
electronic uel-fow and air
fow controls, and precision
injectors which inject the
uel directly into the cylinder
and optimize the ideal
mixture o air and uel during
combustion;
• Continuously Variable
Transmission or CVTs don’t
have a gearbox with a setnumber o gears, instead they
typically operate on a pulley
conguration that allows an
innite number o engine/
wheel speed ratios. This
technology results in better
engine speed matching,
ideal “gear” selection and
improved uel eciency;
• Hybrid Technology: by combining an internal
combustion engine with an
electrical motor and battery
pack, most hybrids today
achieve improvements in
uel eciency by using the
electric motor to supplement
engine power. Some hybrids
can also operate exclusively
using the electric motor at
low speeds. Batteries donot require plugging in and
are recharged by harnessing
the energy rom coasting,
braking and rom the
engine;
• Electronic throttle
control responds to
changing engine conditions
and precisely controls uel
combustion. Decreased
amounts o unburned uel
result in improved uel
eciency;
• Real time uel
consumption monitoring
allows you to determine how
much uel your vehicle is
using under dierent driving
conditions;
• Tinted glass can help to
keep your vehicle interior
cooler and more comortable
on hot sunny days;

Why Dogs Bite People!
By: Daniel Stamp
Here are ve essential beliesnd behaviors that will helpyou take control.
Choice not chancedetermines or tre: Remember you are not inrison. Start by looking at thehoices you are making inie. I you want to be happier,e more eective at work, beess stressed and live longer,hen choose to live a morealanced lie.
Stop being a ‘bs bod’: Don’t fatter yoursel that
HOW TO TAKE CONTROL being super busy or activitydriven is a good measure o
your success or importance.It’s not - rather it may be asmoke screen to hide behind.I you clearly identiy and write down your prioritiesor each day you willimmediately nd that your inputs (activities) decreaseand your outputs (results)increase. It’s a simple productivity equation and itworks or everyone, in every job.
Missions impossible are
alwas impossible: Stopasking the almost impossible
o yoursel, your team or
your amily. Rather give
everyone - including yoursel - the direction, resources and
most importantly the time, to
achieve goals.
Stop ‘stinking thinking’:
The astest way to lose
riends, the respect o your
colleagues and poison amily
relationships is to be a nag
or constant complainer. A
negative attitude to lie will
over time lower your immune
system too! Here’s a tip
that might change your lie.Beore entering the oce
in the morning, going into a
meeting or returning home
at night, take a deep breathand say and think something
positive - you’ll be amazed at
how inectious happiness can
be.
86,400 in or bank eer
da: That’s the number o
seconds deposited in your
time bank each and every day.
How you spend it determines
the lie you lead. Unlike a
nancial account, you don’t
get to carry it over to a new
day or save it with interest or retirement. You use it or lose
it. So don’t waste a precious
second o it on third rate TV,
making commitments youcan’t keep, gossiping at the
water cooler, berating your
kids or things you used to
do too, endless complaining,
talking and not listening. Yes
all o the traps that we all
into too easily.
Rather, take charge today
and live a lie in tune with
your belies and values. Your
behaviors each day will then
refect the person you really
are.
Laws of the Universe:
Law o Mechanical Repair:
Ater or hands become coated with grease,
or nose will begin to itch, or o’ll hae to pee.
Thoughts to Ponder:
Hae a comortable chair, and se it once a da!
Lie is not measred b the nmber o breaths o take,
bt b what takes or breath awa!
